Basically the feature was deferred at the time. -Chuck -----Original Message----- From: agri...@google.com [mailto:agri...@google.com] On Behalf Of Andrew Grieve Sent: Friday, February 13, 2015 7:32 AM To: dev Subject: Re: Thoughts on CB-7827 All of those PRs are closed... Thanks for pointing out that article. Makes it quite clear that this is a thing we need to support. The android:name is necessitates that a .java file be renamed when it changes, so I don't think it should be a part of config.xml (annoying to have to move files. esp. when version control is a thing). So a flag to create makes the most sense to me. AFICT though, it should be fine that all new apps have a hard-coded android:name. Only existing apps should need to use the flag.
